Exploring Atmospheres Ethnographically

Exploring Atmospheres Ethnographically develops and refines the concept of atmosphere, seeking to render it productive for anthropological and social scientific research. Chapters examine dimensions of atmosphere through topics of interdisciplinary concern, including the acquisition of skills, the experience of place and affect, and the perception of weather and environment. Offering an analysis of the relational and transformational processes through which people perceive, experience and live in a moving atmospheric world, the book will appeal to a range of scholars and advanced students of anthropology, sociology and cultural studies.
